Finally I have a chance to comment on this!

I love how with all the writers I've found who write J/T, we all have a slightly different approach, but arrive at the same place. THESE TWO NEED EACH OTHER IN THEIR LIVES.

This is a wonderful snapshot into their relationship as it grows- there's so many things I want to know. And this is officially the first I've seen foraying into smut! Well done!

Funny thing: I got this email an hour before I actually read it because I was so nervous as to what you were gonna say! Yes, I'm a loser. Anyway.

In the conversation I had with perfectlystill, one of us made the comment that we could see them writing songs in bed together, and the muse hit, hard. I didn't want to get explicitly smutty (though I'm not against it, I just didn't want that for this story), but I wanted to address it because with the type of guy he is, it'd be a huge part of their relationship, for better or worse. Thanks so much, I'm glad I didn't bomb completely on that!

THESE TWO NEED EACH OTHER IN THEIR LIVES. Clearly! They are each other's matching black swans, remember?! Thanks so much for this, and your encouragement and everything else!

Oh, and do you mind if I link this in my J/T Masterlist?

Not at all! I'd be honored, thank you!

HOW DID I MISS THIS? WHAT IS MY LIFE? I AM SORRY. READING THIS RIGHT NOW.

The Abigail reference is pretty wonderful and The Douche because I can see Taylor referring to whoever The Douche is as The Douche. And how young high school Taylor would be slightly embarrassed by "Your Body is a Wonderland" and that entire paragraph is lovely and perfect.

For her unwillingness to admit it and his hatred of self-diagnosis, they both knew she had some mild abandonment issues. Sex was just that for him, sex, because it had been a part of who he was for so long now, but she needed that commitment, his stability when her world would forever shift on its axis. Sure enough, it opened her up further, freed her in a way neither of them ever anticipated, but would never ever regret.LOVE THIS SO MUCH. You've managed to capture both of their personalities so well here, the fact that they're so similar and so different at the same time. It works so well and shows how they would "complete" each other, I guess. This entire piece is just so lovely and ( ... )

No worries! I was wondering if you'd read it or not, but I wasn't gonna be all, "hey, read this now" and weird about it. But yay, I'm glad you have! Glad you liked the Abigail reference and yeah, I can see her referring to him as that, too, but never to Abigail's face (because she's a good friend like that). I was worried about that paragraph and how that would come across, so I'm glad you thought it was okay.

That bit you quoted was hard for me to word correctly, and I'm still not too sure about it. I was afraid it was too out of character, so to speak; I see them being outwardly opposite but inwardly very very similar to one another, hence why no one else seems to really get it or even see how it'd work.

No, THANK YOU, so much because without you planting this plot bunny, this story wouldn't even exist at all. Sorry about the adding, I thought I did that a long time ago! Fixed now! Thanks again, and can you believe the turn this has all taken in the last few weeks?! Insane!

Thank you! I love it when people take a chance and read something they're not sure about, even more so when one of my stories inspires it. I think the master of that is letscall_l because God only knows how many times she's done that for me! I knew there was one or two places that needed fixing because I was dead tired when I first posted this, but I just hadn't gotten around to it yet. I finally did just now, and you weren't kidding, there were several. *FACEPALM*

I'm a little obsessed with these two, and have been since around August. I'm glad you loved it, and thanks again for reading and taking a chance!
